wait i can steins;gate these time travel mechanics
#it is too late for me to expand rn but the idea of multiple realities which converge on the same nodes#the main time lines. alpha beta etc never touch. parallel. x person always dies in alpha line for instance. in beta line they may survive.#the things that aren't nodes are basically the various lines within the clusters surrounding the alpha or beta lines#you can change non-nodes within the cluster surrounding a worldline and they're all w/n this alpha line bc the node isn't touched#but make enough changes and eventually you get closer and closer to a reality where the node was different#so say the line where chen xiao got married may actually be closer to the line where the earthquake didn't happen even tho it's not a node#uhhh it's been years since I've watched this so I could be entirely misremembering but okay okay I could deal with s;gesque mechanics#(the thing is I'm generally happy to go for stable loops and observable nodes but the info we have re lg's jump very much implies cxs was-#dead enough to pass on his powers so it couldn't be a case where a stable loop was closed by faking cxs's death so lg still had a reason-#to jump. in other words we really are looking at a paradox unless some other mechanic comes into play or we have sth like a preservation-#(basically anti-paradox) mechanic specifically around the diver. which can be done but doesn't really answer stuff like emma being affected#admittedly this doesn't really work with everything lx says but works with self-repairing timeline idea and his mention of parallel lines-#bc if lg literally manages to cross parallel lines when they should remain separate then the whole certainty/uncertainty thing kinda fits?#ppl should be unable to cross parallel lines bc it throws everything about fate into flux but if the lines are united there's nowhere else#to go. idk these are literally sleep ramblings. don't take them too seriously. I just like time travel mechanics really.
